Topic: Young Park Tourney- Sunday, May 23rd (Read 1988 times)

Still working out most of the details for this tournament on Sunday, May 23rd. What i do know is that we are going to have a two round event at Young Park, which means NO TRAVELING! Still working/coming up with a name for the event so if you got anything good i would like to hear it. I like the "Eastern Front", which Palmer suggested. This is a good name when/if we combine Lee's Summit, P hill or Young Park next year.

They will not be planting the baskets . they will be planting flowers, bushes, shrubs, and putting down grass seed.

Baskets will not be installed until mid May. We want the grass to take hold before it gets completely trampled.

There will be a grand opening event on Sat, May 22nd. You get a $5 dollar disc and if you finish your round and turn in your score card you will be eligible for raffle prizes. This event is to promote the course and get newbies out playing. Very similar relaxed format like Disc Golf Day. More details coming soon about the grand opening event. John

They put tee signs in yesterday and today. Really nice materials were used to construct the signs. they used heavy duty dark green plastic for the post and they constructed framed signs a lexican cover beneath the frame. The design is sweet. The top of the sign has a hinge on it that connects to the post. the bottom of the sign has a bolt that runs through the front of the sign and the bolt continues through the post and locks from the back. there is a spot cut out in the post (below the sign)for a colored metal tab that hangs flush against the post. the bolt on the front of the tee sign goes through colored metal tab. this flat colored piece of metal can be removed by unlocking the lock from behind the post and pulling the bolt through the post. Then the colored metal tab can be flipped showing another color when the basket is in different positions. Hence, not having to wondering where the pin is. On many courses you can see the basket, however, on a woods course it is nice to know where the basket is.

Their great work is no surprise, because everything out there has been top notch up to this point. I believe next Saturday local boyscout will be putting on a mulching party. Then i have been told seeding will begin after that in the following weeks.

I will keep folks informed of what is happening and will likely have a couple work days to get things tiddy up before the kickoff weekend.

Great work out there John. I haven't ventured by there yet but going to soon. This event is a great idea. Anything to bring awareness to the sport is awesome.A guy I work with says its top notch. He freaked when he found out they were doing all that just for disc golf.

The weather forecast cast is looking fantastic, almost hot!! We got 80 degrees forecasted. We got 26 signed up and a ton of folks have already told me they are playing. Come out on Saturday and register at the Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting. You get a free disc on Saturday and can play the course and get ready for Sunday.
